Are you interested in the transportation needs of Orange County? If so, we need your help. Two of our committees – Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Special Needs Advisory Committee (SNAC) – have openings, and we’re recruiting new members. Applications for both these OCTA Board-appointed committees are due April 10.

CAC members provide input on a broad spectrum of transportation projects, studies and outreach activities. During their two-year terms, they identify opportunities for community input, recommend methods for obtaining public feedback on specific transportation issues, serve as liaisons between the public and OCTA and participate in roundtable discussions. Potential committee members should demonstrate a history of participating in community activities and transportation issues and be willing to dedicate at least 15 hours per year to OCTA meetings and activities. Applications are available here. For additional information, please contact Emily Mason at (714) 560-5421 or emason@octa.net.

SNAC members advise OCTA on its special needs transit service for persons with disabilities. Applicants should demonstrate an involvement with persons with disabilities and/or senior citizens, an interest in transportation, and a willingness to dedicate no less than 12 hours annually to OCTA meetings and activities during a three-year term. For additional information and to request an application, visit here or contact Efren Guzman Magdaleno at (714) 560-5560 or emagdaleno@octa.net.
